Produce | The Produce Department was neat and tidy, as well as colorful! Other customers were friendly while walking through! I love the heart-shaped packaging for the strawberries, super cute! I picked up other fruit as well! Flowers | There were so many colorful & pretty flower bouquets! It took a while to look through the Flower Department! Everything was lined up neatly! I found the perfect one, as I love to buy myself flowers on a regular basis!! Outside Patio | Since it was the holidays, the Easter bunnies moss topiaries out front were so cute! Also, the cowboy boots moss topiaries! Haha! Customer Service | Super friendly at checkout, conversation flowed easily! Thanks again for the compliment on my dress! Surroundings | Numerous restaurants, shops, a beautiful Barnes & Noble, a movie theater in so much more! Great area, plenty of free, covered parking and outdoor parking shared with other stores! Overall | If in the area & I wanted to pick up a few items, I would easily shop at this Ralph's location again!

I had a really frustrating experience at this Ralphs, around 4:30 PM today. I was grocery shopping…read moreand had opened a bag of chips to snack on while I shopped, which I brought to self-checkout to pay for along with cottage cheese and salsa. I was paying with cash. I had $43.70 with me and first inserted $0.70 into the self-checkout machine, followed by a $20 bill. The machine took my $20 bill but did not credit it toward my purchase or return it. I immediately asked the self-checkout attendant for help. A manager became involved and they opened the machine, but said they couldn't find the $20. I told them to check the cameras because I absolutely put a $20 bill into that machine. Despite the machine having taken $20.70 from me, they were still going to require me to pay separately for the bag of chips. At that point, I was so frustrated that I left the cottage cheese and salsa behind and didn't complete the rest of my grocery purchase. I did pay for the chips because I had already opened and eaten some of them. What made the situation worse was how unhelpful the self-checkout attendant and manager were. Both seemed annoyed when I initially asked for assistance, even though I was dealing with a problem involving their self-checkout machine and $20 of my money. I called Ralphs customer service immediately afterward and opened a case so this can be investigated. I hope they review the transaction, the machine and the camera footage and return my $20. It's unfortunate because I liked shopping at this Ralphs and my pharmacy is located here, but after the way this was handled, I don't want to grocery shop at this location again.

That should absolutely be addressed. It had a creepy feel to me. Inside was fine and clean and up to Gelsons standards. I roamed around, found a ginger beer I fell in love with and forgot where I bought, got some smoked butter, excited to try it, never seen it! I noticed they had beef lung for dogs, but not elk (yes, my cat eats the elk lung for dogs- but don't tell him that). They just always have different things, and I enjoy experimenting. The truffle pinsa sounded good, Raen checked me out and she was raving about the Pinsa and trying them. She was also a sweetheart. I underutilise this store and will be going more. I wish I appreciated the Pasadena one when we had it. That pinsa was fire!

I can always count on great brands such as King Arthur l, Ghiradelli, and Guittard. I decided to peruse the Ice Cream and frozen dessert Isle. I needed a dessert to go with the Pot Roast planned for dinner. Before I checked out Renaud's (Plan B), thought I woukd check out what was there. Julian Pie Company Apple Pie. So excited! Gelsonxs carries these around the holidays. Notbsure if maybe they brought them in for July 4th or if this will be a standard item! These are Frozen Unbaked pies. First time trying ine and the whole family was impressed. I thawed and baked according to their instructions and it came out perfectly delicious! I am honestly thinking about getting another one or two, just to keep in the freezer in case they don't bring them back until the holidays!

A big plus is that they offer 10% off for CSULB students, staff, and faculty!

Absolutely Phenomenal Grocery Store!…read more This store is absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, you can see and feel the difference in quality. Everything looks incredibly fresh, especially the fruits and vegetables, and the store is clean, well-stocked, and very inviting. The selection is phenomenal! They have a fresh poke bar, salad bar, bakery, coffee bar, fresh juices, and so much more. Their bakery alone has an incredible variety of delicious-looking items. They also carry a great selection of soaps, supplements, health and wellness products, and so many unique items that you may not find at your typical grocery store. The employees are another reason I enjoy shopping here. Everyone I have encountered has been polite, friendly, professional, and willing to assist when needed. Great customer service makes such a difference! Some items can be a little pricey, but in my opinion, you get what you pay for. The freshness, quality, variety, cleanliness, and customer service make it worth spending a little more. This store is several miles out of my way, and I will STILL make the drive because it is worth it! If you haven't visited yet, you definitely need to check it out. This is what a quality grocery store should look and feel like. Highly recommended!

Reminiscent of my early years growing up, it's the "corner store" where you could buy a bottle of…read moreRC or Coke and grab a bag of chips or Hostess product. Very early 60's ..... if you like that kind of store. A real nostalgic market loaded with just about everything you need for the day. This place is busy during the summer because it's about 1/2 mile from Main St. So walking to DTSB to get drinks, chips, etc for the beach, then walking back is a real pain, hence Dolphin Market is a true "convenience" store for beach goers, as well as for locals. When in Seal Beach, drop by and visit during your walking tour. Happy Shoppin' and Fight On!

I'm sure everyone can recall the small mom & pop corner market where they grew up, how it held untold treasures behind cabinets, under shelves and in the coolers. Cold soda pop, NiHis, jaw-breakers, ice cream bars, it was all here. Remember asking your parents for a quarter and running off with your friends to that market? Ken, the proprietor, says he owns over fifty surfboards. And I believe him cuz I think a third of them are here. They hang from the ceiling, lean against walls or lie on the floor waiting for some attention. Mop-headed, blond-haired kids come in wearing nothing more than bathing suits covered in sand and dried saltwater to stare in wide wonder at the waves these boards must have seen in their day. 8x10" faded photographs of ancient surf stars sliding down monstrous waves cover holes in the walls. Bobble-heads, mostly baseball characters, stare down impassively and watch the show from on high between rows of collectible Coke cans and the flotsam and jetsam of a lifelong collector. This is Ken's world. Wife "Barbie" runs their day care center. Maintaining two businesses means the "Open" sign isn't hung regularly but, as summer approaches, you'll spot it more and more as you walk up from the beach looking for that cold brew and hot story of how that ceiling-slung "Trestles Special" once carved delicious tracks across a sparkling blue wave. Deep love indeed.

The local ESPN radio station was there broadcasting live while highlighting all the free samples on display.

Reps for the Big Green Egg were also serving up brisket made fresh off their grills. To top it off, gift cards were given out, luring you into the store to check out all their meats and seafood in stock. While the playlist outside was thumping with beats around the world, in here they played American pop music.

This place used to be a Ruby's diner, but I don't miss it at all. The customer service here can be hit or miss but when you do get it, they are very friendly and always willing to help.

In the past, Trader Joe's employees have often been known for being fun, enthusiastic, professional, and knowledgeable. However, based on my experience at this location, several employees came across as snarky toward select customers, which felt inconsistent with the brand's traditionally welcoming culture. The store itself also lacked any distinctive design elements or unique thematic touches that made it memorable. As a result, the overall ambiance felt rather bland. Lastly, I noticed that both the food and product inventory appeared to be low. It seemed as though there was less variety than what is typically available at other Trader Joe's locations of comparable--or even smaller--size. Overall, this location met the basic expectations of a Trader Joe's, but it lacked the exceptional customer service, inviting atmosphere, and well-stocked selection that have historically set the brand apart.

Long before the invasion of 7-Elevens, these small corner markets kept neighborhoods thriving. I was really impressed by their selection: beef jerky in a jar, unique beverages you won't find at typical convenience stores, and homemade goods and sandwiches. I even picked up a loaf of sourdough bread made in San Diego. The breakfast burrito was good, though not quite in the legendary tier. It was generously packed with eggs and small pieces of avocado. Their hot sauce had a nice kick, but I definitely could have used a bit more of it on the burrito. Service was great. The owner asked if I needed help finding anything, and when I told him I was just browsing, he didn't pressure me at all. He simply pointed out a cooler behind the counter with even more beverage options, including Shasta soda in the mix.
